Hair and Boobs

Since I have had all this down time lately I have been watching a lot of TV and one of show I have been watching is old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on Lifetime (weekdays from 1 to 4). Here is something interesting I have noticed while watching this show. When someone on the show has “cancer” and is going thru chemo they wear these gorgeous head scarves to hide their bald heads BUT THEY STILL HAVE EYEBROWS!!

To be honest, I am more concerned about losing my eyebrows then I am about losing the hair on my head. I can wear a wig, a hat or a scarf to hide my head…but my eyebrows? Can’t hide that. As a matter of fact, on Monday I am going out to get new glasses. Hopefully I will find a funky pair that kind of cover the area of my head where my eyebrows are (or…would be) to minimize the fact that the eyebrows are missing. Even tho a very kind neighbor has purchased eyebrow stencils for me, and assured me she will show my how to use them properly. Those of you who know me, know I am not very good with a makeup wand. So wish me luck with that.

Did you notice I just used the word “funky”? C’mon, you all know I am not “funky”. I am drab. I like greys and greens and browns and blacks. Nothing funky in my closet. But somehow having cancer makes me want to be funky. So last night Alan and I went out in search of some funky head scarves. And I ended up getting 4 scarves. One black, one grey, one pink and one patterned with rosy pink and grey. Not very funky, I’m afraid. But I tried. Alan tried too; you should have seen him with the scarves on his head. The comedy factor was high last night.

Here is another thing that has caught my attention these last few weeks. Boobs. Everywhere boobs. According to some other women I have talked to lately that have or have had breast cancer, this is normal. I can’t help but check out the rack of every woman I see. And then I try to figure out…are they 100% real, lifted, reduced? Does the owner of the breasts like them? Would she be upset to lose them? I’m truly not upset that my God given breasts are gone. Really, I’m not. I wish I could have gotten rid of them without surgery tho. My new breasts will be great. Perky. The size I want them. And I will never need to wear a bra again. So yeah…losing my God given breasts doesn’t concern me. Dam things tried to kill me…
